dCeahs and SInterference The current of the sophomore class, once filled with static and short circuits, is now clear and steady. We foretell a bright future for them Academically, their honor roll percentage is high. Socially, their participation in extra curric- ular activities renders them an indispensable asset to the organizations. Musically, their group pro- duced results far above average in the band, orchestra, and the various choruses. Dramatically, this class was represented in the All School play, the Carnival, and the operetta. The sophomore party, with its careful planning and distinctive decorations, was a highlight of the year. The students planned and decorated the party by themselves. Those who did not have a good time did not attend. The home rooms have been active and well organized. The students have planned parties and programs. They have had personality tests, in which they were taught to recognize and sub- due their weak points, and to develop and bring the good points into the limelight. This year, the sophomores are powerful in ath- letics. The boys and girls have both earned awards for their high voltage performances in sports All in all, this class merits respect for its general All American attitude and its enviable reputation. 2!
